UAE announces corporate tax relief for some entities

The UAE's Ministry of Finance has listed out a number of entities that are not required to register for Corporate Tax.

The ministerial decision on the Exception from Tax Registration will apply to government and government-controlled entities, extractive businesses, and non-extractive natural resource businesses. 

Additionally, a non-resident person will not be required to register for Corporate Tax if they earn only UAE-sourced income and do not have a Permanent Establishment in the UAE. 

Meanwhile, federal government, UAE government departments and authorities, and other public institutions, do not require to register under Federal Tax Authority as long as they continue to meet the conditions for tax exemption.
